Zi Baifeng spent three days visiting the other fourteen villages under his jurisdiction.

Fortunately, human beings live by water, and some of these villages may be in the mountains, and some of them may not even have a decent road, but these villages are all near small streams and rivers.

As long as there is a waterway, Zibaifeng's cloud boat can go there.

The three-day visit made Zi Baifeng dispel all illusions, and the reality was more cruel than he imagined.

He still remembers that when he first went to Yan Village, he saw the bleak and dilapidated scene, and now it seems that Yan Village is already good.

There are fifteen villages in Jiuyan Township, and only one village has a bumper harvest, and the other villages have no harvest.

The particles were not harvested because the aura between heaven and earth was withdrawn, and now the spirit gathering array of the bird and mouse view has stopped operating, but the loss of aura has not stopped, but has only weakened.

At the end of the day, the leylines are like a network of running water that is in short supply, and the Bird and Mouse View is a tap that never stops, and now that this tap is turned off, there are other taps elsewhere. Unless Zi Baifeng wiped out all the immortal cultivation sects, there would be no way to stop the depletion of spiritual energy.

The reason why the aura of Xiayan Village was not sucked away was not because of the demon cultivation technique, but because of the big bluestone. Da Qingshi has an excellent affinity with the leyline, it guards in Xiayan Village, tightly locking the aura in the leyline, like closing the main valve to other places, and accumulating the aura.

Da Qingshi also didn't know what he could lock the aura for, according to common sense, the monster had to reach the level of the seventh order "if weaving a net" in order to be able to guard the leylines and dominate the aura.

Perhaps, this is a unique talent of youkai like stones?

These still require proof, but Zi Baifeng has already discovered that even if he tries his best to survive this winter, if he doesn't change the situation of this aura being sucked away, there will still be no harvest in the coming year.

Maybe it won't be completely lost, after all, the speed of spiritual energy loss is much slower than before, and there is still some harvest, but there is still a long way to go.

If you want to change this state, there is only one way, and that is to keep the aura of these places under control.

But how?

The basic knowledge of cultivating immortals, Zi Baifeng got it from Mr., and a biography of immortals recorded all kinds of common sense of cultivating immortals.

But his demon raising recipe is unique, and there is nothing to refer to, so he can only explore it himself.

It's so distressing......

Don't worry about it for the time being, let's talk about the catastrophe in front of you first.

Zi Baifeng can only take one step at a time.

After visiting the village and returning to Xiayan Village, Zi Baifeng began to work on his first plan.

He remembered that when he first learned about the germ of capitalism, the book said that the peasants lost their land and had to become workers, and this was the germ of capitalism.

Now it is not that the peasants have lost their land, but that the existence of the land has lost its meaning, and the land will not become fertile if they are idle at home, so they will liberate the labor force, let them create value, and then use the value they create to exchange for food.

In normal times, these villagers are reluctant to leave their land, even if they are hunters and jade workers in the mountains, there is an unspeakable land plot. But now that it is no longer possible to survive on the land alone, it is possible to temporarily transform into a worker.

Zi Baifeng convened several members of his command to discuss, and then summoned the village leaders and clan elders to come to the meeting.

This process used to take a few days or even more than ten days, but Zi Baifeng sent Liu Lieli to take the cloud boat to pick it up, and he took it all over in one day, and then Zi Baifeng announced his first move.

He decided to plan Xiayan Village at the beginning, but only some facilities that stayed on paper were really built.

The first step is to build roads. There is no official road from Xiayan Village to Mengcheng, and the road is rugged and difficult to walk. Zibaifeng himself relies on cloud boats, but in the boundary of Mengcheng, only the water veins near Bird and Mouse Mountain are developed, but most of these rivers pass through small rivers with very low amounts, which are not of great use.

After building the road from Xiayan Village to Mengcheng Guandao, Zibaifeng immediately had to carry out the next step of planning, leveling a vacant land in front of Xiayan Village and building a small town.

This will be a very slow process, and anyone who reads the plan made by Zi Baifeng will have to reverie for a long time, but after the dream, everyone shook their heads again, saying that it was too difficult.

It's difficult, not impossible, there is also Zi Baifeng's affection and the influence caused by what he did in the past, if not, I'm afraid everyone will say that he is daydreaming.

There is no need for their own villagers to build roads, and there will be an autumn sowing in Xiayan Village next, which is extremely important, and Zibaifeng asked them to cultivate more fields and plant more crops, so that they can have a good harvest in the coming year. The mountain fields are barren and not easy to irrigate, in the past, most of the villagers were not thinking about the mountain fields, but this year the villagers have tasted the sweetness of selling grain, even if Zi Baifeng does not say it, they will cultivate more. In addition, now that there are Tianhe and waterwheels, it is not too easy to water, and the workload is reduced a lot.

"Even if it's hard, you have to do it. Zibai said, "Old man, for every job you do, give two rations...... Isn't this a little less? Is two servings enough?"

Let them work, how to pay the salary, Zi Baifeng was worried, but the old man waved his hand and gave a policy.

One job, two rations. To put it simply, every person who works for one day can take away two people's rations. Men, women, and children can come to work, but men take men's rations, women take women's rations, and children take children's rations, basically how much work they do, how much rations they take, the only difference is that they have double portions.

This double ration is not much, but it can feed the people who work and feed one or two people in the family.

Zi Baifeng originally felt that he was giving little, but as soon as the old man settled the account, he understood. In this world, the average age is not long, like a pillar mother, it sounds quite old, but in fact it is only in her forties, and when her health was poor some time ago, she looked like an old man of sixty or seventy years old, but now she is in good health, and she can work quickly with her hands and feet, and she can top most of the strong laborers. In this era, both men and women, after losing their labor force, basically died very quickly, and there were very few people who were old and strong like the old man. Suppose a family has one or two male laborers and one woman who can work, then it can earn food rations for four to six people, enough for them to live.

Zi Baifeng told the elders of the village Zheng clan about the principles and policies, and then sent them back and asked them to go back to the village to preach it, and then Zi Baifeng began to prepare for the project.

Food, lodging, overseers, tools, accounts, again, is a mess.

After those clan elders returned to the village for several days, only intermittently people came, not many people came first, some people did not believe it, some people did not want to leave their villages, now they are really unable to survive, with the idea of trying it out, and as Zi Baifeng expected, many people are dragging their families with their mouths - they are afraid that before the food is sent back, the people in the family will starve to death.

The first batch of people had about a dozen strong laborers, dozens of people, all of them in ragged clothes, with yellow faces and thin muscles, dragging their families with their mouths. When Zi Baifeng heard that someone was coming, he rode over on the snow, and saw these people squatting hesitantly at the entrance of the village, and those children all had big heads and thin necks, similar to the small stones at the beginning. There are also a few swaddling babies, with purple faces, desperately sucking their mother's milk, but they can't get anything out.

In fact, Xiaoshi is about to be ten years old, if it is a previous life, ten-year-old children are in the third grade, and the tall ones are one meter five or six, and Xiaoshi is only one meter old, and it looks like six or seven years old, which is the reason why nutrition can't keep up. And these children are shorter and smaller than Xiaoshi, one by one like African refugees, Zi Baifeng is about to cry when he sees it, that is distressed, ho.

Don't say anything, let's get something to eat first.

Zi Baifeng found a few village women to form a logistics team earlier, and the logistics personnel were all people Zi Baifeng could trust, Zi Wu's family, Zhu Zi Niang, Yan Lao Wu's daughters-in-law, and Lao Tuozi's wife. At this time, he summoned them over, put a cauldron at the entrance of the village, poured in the grain of white flowers, and boiled it with a gurgling heart. The smell was so fragrant that the children couldn't sit still, and they gathered around one by one, staring at the pot and drooling.

Zi Baifeng pulled the little stone and whispered to him, the little stone nodded and ran back, and after a while, he came back with some snacks and distributed them to them.

These snacks were brought by Mengcheng, not to mention the children, these adults were not willing to eat them, the children clung to them, chewed a few bites and stuffed them into their stomachs, and then scrambled again. There were also a few children who were reluctant to eat, so they shook their saliva and took it back to their parents.

Zi Baifeng remembered these children, and sighed secretly, sure enough, the children of poor families were in charge early.

The rice porridge is good to cook and drink, and a large pot of porridge is cooked in a short time, a bowl of porridge for one person, a pickle lump for one person, and the mother is reluctant to eat, so she carefully feeds it to her own children, dips her fingers in the rice soup, and sucks it for the child in the swaddling clothes.

There is also a nest head for each person, and they are also reluctant to eat, so they are distributed to their children and women first.

In just ten minutes, a large pot of porridge was clean and slippery, and the hungry stomach couldn't eat much, and Zi Baifeng didn't dare to give more, after eating these, these people's complexions were much better. Little Stone confirmed his authority through a piece of pastry, came to the middle of the children, waved his arm, and said, "Go, I'll take you to play!"

Now Xiaoshi, although he is still black and thin, but he wears a new embroidered dress - children of this age wear most of the clothes that adults change from small, so that the rich can put new clothes on their children - and took delicious pastries to everyone, obviously with an extraordinary identity, it is easy to win the trust of others, like a child king, hugging back and forth.
